Inspired by **genseric**.

Quote:  
On a tangent, this reminds me of a game my friends and I used to play. One would make up a word, then the next had to make up a definition, then the next had to use it in a sentence.

Example:

Friend 1: Deg  
Friend 2: To find under a cat  
Friend 3: Hey, I degged this mouse.

Word one: splax
